Found this old email Date: Mon, 18 Jul 2005 03:23:10 -0400 From: Evan To: midatlanticretro@yahoogroups.com Subject: [midatlanticretro] Name for our museum? Jim Scheef pointed out that if we're going to announce our existence to the world on August 13, we better figure out a name for the museum. Didn't find the actual annoucement.

I've dug up some photos of the original museum timestamped in 2006, though of course nothing to indicate it being "officially open" by then... C or D, perhaps? [image: 3_the-proud-family-at-infoage.jpg]
On another note - does anyone have more detailed photos showing the original make-up of the museum? What was originally on display, how it was arranged, etc.
I don't have photos of museum 1.0, but I have of museum 2.0
It might be a novel idea to recreate a portion of it in our new, larger museum space - to point at it and say "Look how we've grown!" and highlight the nearly 20 years of work needed to get to where we are today.

Looking through the old website files before we switched to WordPress we had a page to announce the official opening of the museum.
Anyone care to guess what was the official date of the museum's grand opening?
A) September 13, 2008 B) May 10, 2008 C) April 21, 2007 D) September 15, 2007
